Hume Seminar Series: Emulation as a Force Multiplier for Cyber Assessment of Weapon Systems

Tuesday, March 24

Date: Tuesday, March 24

Time: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Location: Zoom

About the Event:

Modern weapon systems are increasingly software defined, network connected, and cyber physical in nature. Traditional cyber assessment methods struggle to keep pace with their complexity, limited hardware availability, and stringent safety other hardware constraints.

This talk explores how high fidelity emulation provides an innovative path forward by highlights=ig how emulation accelerates analysis, reduces program risk, and expands what is testable, which makes it a force multiplier for cyber survivability in current and next generation weapon systems.

About the Speakers:

  • Mr. Artur Zak, Vice President of Technology at Percival Engineering

His role specializes in cyber resiliency, embedded systems, and high fidelity emulation of complex weapon systems. He brings over 20 years of experience supporting U.S. Government and Intelligence Community missions, with a focus on uncovering vulnerabilities in cyber physical and RF enabled platforms.

He holds BS and MS degrees in Computer Engineering and is a graduate of the National Security Agency’s highly selective Computer Network Operations Development Program (CNODP).
